Promote public, economic, regulatory, and political instruments to reduce water scarcity and inequality
Summary
Adjust fees to the amount of water consumed in households, so that the costs of operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of infrastructure are covered, the quality of service improves, and user awareness of excessive water use increases. Fees will reflect the cost of service, which will be accessible to all.
This action helps raise awareness of the true value of water and helps regulate its daily consumption. It also ensures maintenance of critical water infrastructure and reduces pressure on the scarce resource.
